Tofu - Alu Paratha

It is very healthy to include Tofu(Soya Paneer) in our regular diet .Tofu has very little flavor or smell on its own, so it can be used either in savory or sweet dishes, and is often seasoned or marinated to suit the dish.It is low in calories and contains a relatively large amount of Iron and contains little fat.Though you can substitute paneer with tofu in our dishes there will be a compromise in taste,but it is so healthy.Here comes a simple paratha made up of Tofu.Ingredients:

Make a smooth and elastic dough out of wheat flour,salt and water and leave it aside for 30-45 mins.Smear the hands with oil and give a nice massage until it forms a nice and smooth dough.

Mix well all the ingredients required for the filling.

Take a small portion of dough and roll it into a 3" dia round using wheat flour and place the stuffing in between and gently close it from all the edges and roll it again to a 6" dia paratha(roll it bit thicker than the regular roti's) and fry it on tawa on both sides by smearing it with Oil/ghee.

Yippeee this sounds interesting...actually i have always heard of Paneer parata and not tofu...nice idea:).Love the chillies on the first click.....i picked up something like them in Delhi during my India trip this year....they are so tasty:-P

I make stuffed tofu parathas too and blogged about them a long time back, but adding potatoes is a good idea, especially since the tofu sometimes tends to be too watery no matter how much you drain it. They look delicious.

I noticed one thing in common.Most of you are interested on that chilli pickle more than my paratha..:)That chilli picke is supplied by my MIL.Guys I am going to get a big batch of that soon,then I will post the recipe too..Till then bear my other posts..
